LABC has added links to an updated English version of the People’s Law School online resource If Your Sponsorship Breaks Down to our resources website. You can read this resource online, download a PDF, or order a copy for yourself or your clients through Crown Publications.
This free resource is for people whose immigration sponsor is no longer willing or able to support them, or for those who know someone who is experiencing mistreatment by their sponsor.
Written in plain language, this legally reviewed booklet addresses key sponsorship issues, such as:
- Learn your rights: Step-by-step guidance for when a relationship with a sponsor breaks down.
- Safety planning: Practical steps for people to keep themselves and their children safe.
- Financial support: How to access welfare benefits for basic needs.
- Legal guidance: Includes a list of organizations, victim support hotlines, legal clinics, and support resources across BC.
You can find this resource, and many more, on LABC’s resources website.
